OVERVIEW OF EDUCATIONAL SERVICES PROVIDED BY WLP CONSULTANCY SERVICES
Contract Review and Best Value Analysis
Contract review is essential to stimulate an environment of continual improvement for all parties involved with the service provision. Results from a review of current services and consideration of key client objectives can be used as a benchmark to both promote and determine a continuation of Best Value. This may lead to a full tendering exercise or setting of new Service Level Agreements and KPI’s with the existing service provider.

Procurement is often involved with many of the services bought in, to support the building and people within an organisation, referred to as Facilities Management (FM). WLP are able to provide guidance and information to assist you with realising cost and material savings by improving the resource efficiency of your FM services:
WLP can aid educational organisations in testing the market for large spend items such as service contracts, utilities etc and to provide guidance on reviewing spending, benchmarking costs, measuring Best Value for money and supporting through the tender process and obtaining supplier quotations for lowest spend items.
Management of the Tender Process
The tendering process is complex, even more so with DFE directives and multiple site organisations all with specific requirements. With experience and knowledge of the marketplace, WLP Consultancy Services Ltd offer clients a cost-effective method of tendering to suit their particular need. Following Public Procurement guidelines and working independently or within a framework agreement, the whole process is managed and clarified, focusing on qualitative and financial objectives, to bring reassurance and peace of mind, enabling clients to make the right decisions. Our commitment is such that our management fee includes drafting a Service Level Agreement with the appointed contractor and monitoring of the first month’s service levels after the contract has been awarded.

Continuous contract monitoring is crucial to maintaining commitment to core service delivery objectives in educational settings. WLP Consultancy Services Ltd offer a Contract Monitoring Service providing a full audit of the service provision against the Service Level Agreement and KPI’s, chairing regular meetings (normally quarterly) between client and contractor.
